Atlanta is a hot bed for talent from Jermaine Dupri, Outkast, the Trap Music of
T.I. and Jeezy; now Atlanta Native Backdoe Money is making noise inside the same
strip club circuit many other HOTLANTA artists have known to travel. Backdoe
Money, born Terry Givens Jr., is a former athlete and scholar. He received his
name due to the fact he accomplished so many of his goals going through the back
door and most of those goals were money motivated. Backdoe Money music career
started back in 2002 when he met Atlanta Producer Brandon “Rich Boi” Richardson
when they were in high school. When Rich Boi finished his Masters Degree and
multiple tours with Trill Entertainment; he returned back to Atlanta full time.
Backdoe and Rich Boi rekindled their music recording and created Backdoe Money’s
buzzing mixtape Serving Out The Backdoe which was released in February 2015 and
the FREE BRA DAMAN mixtape. Both were a precursor to Backdoe Money’s debut album
For My People that was released in early 2015. Backdoe Money is a rapper and
entrepreneur owning his label Straddle The Fence; a name that he came up because
his whole life it’s like he has been in two worlds of right and wrong, always
straddling the fence. Like many young black men Backdoe Money said he wanted to
get an education and was afforded that opportunity while playing baseball for
Alabama State University as an athlete, but he also had to face the trials as
well as triumphs of life growing up in Dekalb County. Backdoe Money is happy
with his independent success but is not opposed to signing a major record deal
if he can get a fair deal that will allow his company the growth to provide for
his family and friends. Backdoe Money said “I am not trying to validate being a
street rapper, I want to validate urban youth awareness and use current trends
to promote that”. Backdoe Money recently finished his book Urban Youth
Awareness, which is full of real life lessons that he went through. He hopes by
sharing, other youth can avoid learning the hard way. Some of those life lessons
such as how to take responsibility for your success in life and even how to
avoid a lot of the negativity the world has to give to urban youth. Outside of
music, Backdoe Money is a serial entrepreneur and is part of a family owned
trucking company in Georgia called Givens Trucking LLC. He balances his time
between his family, business, music and interviews that can be heard on radio
station programming such as Desert Storm Radio and the Wall Street acclaimed
Coalition DJ’s Radio. Backdoe Money is preparing his latest projects for release
this summer and fall.
